WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A Republican White House and Congress may impact the future of the
absence management industry and U.S. employers, according to ReedGroup,
a leading international health and productivity company.

In particular, Curry’s presentation helped employers wade through
potential policy changes at state and federal levels; the general
deregulatory environment and its effect on employers; impacts of state
elections on paid family leave mandates; and, the future of the
Affordable Care Act (“ACA”).

“The past Administration brought major transformation to our industry,
and this new political environment may bring continued policy changes
that could impact absence management within organizations,” said Curry.
“Actions out of the White House in the first 100 days of the
administration have dealt with wide-ranging issues, and new Cabinet
officials will continue to evaluate their departments’ priorities in the
coming months.”
